      Generally larger animals who need more habitat, or really specialized animals. We aren’t good at thinking about linking ecosystems up – for example wildlife reserves in Africa would work better if there were safe corridors for animals to travel along between them. The work I am doing at the moment is to allow fish populations to move up and down a river so they don’t end up as isolated populations with too much inbreeding, and no disease or drought resistance.
